Win-Win Partnership

Seemingly healthy South Asians develop diabetes and have heart attacks at younger ages. Disease progression is faster, and severity is more pronounced in this population.

Traditional and routine guidelines fail to identify at-risk patients, so comprehensive screening is required to uncover hidden risks and disease. Lifestyle evaluation followed by personalized therapy has been shown to prevent adverse events.

As practitioners, you are equipped to medically manage your patient's risk factors. However, you may find it challenging to provide in-depth lifestyle counseling, and ongoing supervision and coaching to help your patients sustain these lifestyle changes. A three-way partnership between your patient, the South Asian Heart Center and you, assures that your patient receives and benefits from expert guidance and lifelong follow up.

Physician Spotlight

The Center has been an ally in identifying and managing the high risk of several hyperlipidemia patients in whom risks for heart attack might otherwise go undetected and untreated. Coronary artery disease is a silent killer, but the Center's proven advanced screening identifies risk, and leads to proactive and focused therapy.
Geeta Krishnapriyan, MD
Many patients want to see their risk factors clearly labeled and delineated in order to be proactive about their health. This is possible with the detailed results and follow-up nutritional advice they get from the Center. The reports from the Center help me decide which patients need immediate intervention, and which patients can attempt lifestyle modification before medication.
Aarti Srinivasan, MD Palo Alto Medical Foundation
It has been extremely rewarding to share our mutual passion and energy in reducing the burden of heart disease risk in South Asians. I’m now very excited that our South Asian services will be partnering strategically with the Center to give our community coordinated care and even more support and resources in improving their health.
Ronesh Sinha, MD, Internal Medicine Palo Alto Medical Foundation & Co-founder of South Asian program (PRANA) Author, The South Asian Health Solution
I have witnessed the devastating effects of premature cardiovascular disease as it cripples our young South Asian patients. Sharing in the global vision of the Center, our medical group has successfully provided the local community with invaluable screening tools for disease prevention. Through our unique partnership, we will continue to offer these lifesaving practices in the North Bay and beyond.
